Custom made adapter has come.  Bushes will be here on the 7th so hopefully be back up and on the road. Insured it again yesterday and currently stolen John's new car until mine's fixed. |

All is fixed, drove her home and absolutely happy. Sounds and runs much better than the old engine which we believe was fubar'd.
Clutch needs bleeding some more though.
